Description
The scan may not show it well, but I honestly think this is one of my best pieces to date (despite the weird semi-background). I tinkered with levels and all sorts of things in various programs but still can't recapture the rich brightness of the original. Still, this is actually one of the better digital representations of my art.

Except the blue of her clothing. That scanned like absolute crud, especially on her top. I used three distinct but smoothly-blended blues, and the scanner both homogenized and chopped them. Chaka's orange-red fur color also suffered, and the colors of the grass are much nicer in person.

Anywho, enough about scanner woes. I'm really pleased with this piece. I still have anatomical issues (like the darned torso!) but I feel that this is some of my best anatomy yet. I'm especially happy with her neck/shoulder area. That part of the body is massively hard for me.

I spaced the white parts on her thighs, for the most part. Whoopsie. I also completely messed up and forgot an important thing, but drew on my creativity and art supplies to add it in. I'm not going to point out what it is, though the correction looks totally obvious to me since I already know. I want to see if it actually is obvious or not.

By the way, the title has a real meaning to me. This drawing is the last page of the drawing book I have been pecking away at for the last two years. "Hello" refers to the new season, the new school year, and my new drawing book. "Goodbye" refers to the former of each.

Col-Erase colored pencils, Pitt Artist fine point pen, Sakura Pigma Micron size 01, Staedtler Triplus Fineliners, Prismacolor markers, plus minor use of other media for correction.
